I finished Amy Poehler’s book, Yes Please, this week for Estée’s book club (join #buttonsbookshelf here.) I am guilty of watching Parks and Rec seasons on repeat (I can’t believe it is almost over!) so I knew I would love the book. Amy filled the pages with stories of her youth all the way to the present. She also snuck in a bit of life advice. My favorite take-away from the book is this quote, “Good for you, not for me.” Amy sheds light on all of the girl on girl hate out there (internet trolls, we are looking at you!) and wishes people would just respect each other. If someone is doing something you don’t like, that’s okay! It’s just not okay to tear them down because of it – aka “Good for you, not for me.” I thought this was a great quote from the book and hope people will start to spread love instead of hate around the internet.
